Yep. Evaporative coolers only work in low humidity climates. There are not very many of those in Texas or Louisiana.

BS - I grew up in Texas and didn’t have AC until my last two years of high school. That is from elementary to high school, no AC.
Funny, it worked just fine in my grandmas house when I was little in humid central Texas. It worked fine in my house too. And there are many prisons in west Texas and the conditions are perfect there, even optimal.
Today it is 90 degrees in Lubbock, on down through Odessa. There are a several prisons in that area. Humidity is 24% today. This is the center of the optimal performance zone on a swamp cooler and it could easily keep things at 72 degrees.
Loses effectiveness at 50%, but even then it’ll lower things 10 or 12 degrees. But yes, in well over half of Texas, it is a viable option.
